All Time Best EDCC Teams

During the 2007/08 season, we ran a number of initiatives to celebrate our 50th year as a Cricket Club in the SSJCA. The first of these was the selection of the All Time Best EDCC 16A Team. The team was selected by a number of long serving EDCC members, going back through all 50 years of records. The team was announced at the Trivia Night in February 2008.
